Carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible. Poisoning occurs over a period of hours, but even a few minutes of exposure can be hazardous in high enough concentrations. The carbon monoxide detector saves lives every day.
F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical gives clients peace of mind through our comprehensive carbon monoxide detector services. We’ve served Richmond homeowners for over 40 years with “Absolutely the Best” technicians so you can enjoy exceptional results, no matter your service needs.
Signs You Need a Carbon Monoxide Detector
Healthcare providers say that CO poisoning has risen by 35%, so carbon monoxide detectors are some of the most important safety inclusions in the modern home. Consider installing a CO detector if:
- You own at least one fixed combustion item, like a furnace, gas stove, generator, or gas water heater.
- You use a wood-burning stove.
- You use fuel-powered equipment in an enclosed space.
- You’ve noticed symptoms like headaches, confusion, and nausea.
- Your current CO detectors are older than seven years.

FAQs
How close should my carbon monoxide detector installation be to my fuel-burning appliances?
You need a carbon monoxide alarm 15 to 20 feet away from each fuel-burning device and 10 feet from every bedroom. If you’re using a device that detects both smoke and carbon monoxide, you should install alarms on every story of your property.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide detector goes off?
A carbon monoxide leak is an emergency, so you must evacuate your home immediately. Once your family is safe, you can ask your utility provider to address the source of the leak. Your next call should be to F.H. Furr. We’ll identify the problem and perform the necessary repairs or replacements.
How many times will a carbon monoxide detector go off?
Your equipment will chirp once a minute if your batteries are low. If it detects poisonous gas, it will emit a more intense alarm every four or five seconds.
